Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 199 [199] Shadow Erosion Soul Bone Witch Array: Fierce Battle in White Lake City

White Lake Wizard City.

The rushing canal was littered with various forms of energy radiation pollutants. Broken remnants of wizard ships and pieces of wood floated on the surface. Beneath the water, metal fragments that could not float were mixed with mud and mortar, buried deep underground.

The former prosperity is long gone, and various grim skeletons drift along the canal, wandering to farther places. The clothes on these skeletons are very new, as if they have just died, but the bones are as if they have lived for a hundred years, full of signs of decay and withering.

The Mebius caravan's wizard ship sailed upstream, its hull colliding with the skeletons carried downstream, producing a cracking, pulverizing sound.

Relis stood on the deck, her eyes filled with joy, as a continuous stream of black soul power flowed into her body from the skeletons in the river.

That's not all; her soul power also seemed to carry some rare vitality, which was absorbed by Ruilis. Black blood vessels gradually appeared on her skin, seeping from her blood vessels and converging in her brain, further increasing her extraordinary spiritual power.

"What the Dark Bat Wizard said is true. The Shadow Tide Erosion Soul Bone Wizard Array he taught me can really improve my strength rapidly. My strength has been restored, and I'm even just one step away from becoming a Limit Wizard Apprentice."

Ruilis's smile deepened, her eyes burning as she gazed at the black smoke rising from the sky above White Lake Wizard City, accompanied by violent crackling sounds and fluctuations in particle energy.

Chaos has begun, and it's not just the Berkeley family wizards involved; the six ultimate wizard apprentices from the Natural Ring Tower are also participating. Wild wizards, who are usually law-abiding under the rules and order, are displaying desires and madness far more terrifying than they seem.

Shouts of battle filled the air, and as the magic was unleashed, the light of particle energy illuminated every corner of White Lake Wizard City.

The aromas were mixed together, truly like a pot of porridge, making it impossible to distinguish between good and bad.

They can only seize any extraordinary resources they see and kill anyone they can defeat. There is no order; only the purest form of survival of the fittest exists.

"Kill, kill, the more people who die the better. Your souls, your lives, all belong to me, and I can rise to a higher level."

Relis stood on the deck, looking down at the dead wizards and mortals on both banks. Many of them had wizard rings filled with various extraordinary resources. Even more people were fighting for these resources, their eyes bloodshot with rage.

This was abnormal in itself; even Relis herself had forgotten what the main mission of White Lake Wizard City was.

They were engrossed in the joy of increasing their strength and looked forward to more killing.

A faint shadowy light spread from beneath the earth, merging into the corpses and bones, and then, following the drifting soul power, merged into Ruilis's body and soul.

Her eyelids were speckled with dark shadows, which she was completely unaware of. Her extraordinary spiritual power followed the shadow-corroding soul-bone magic array she had set up, sensing the corpses and bones throughout the flowing canal.

These things can all serve as nourishment to enhance her strength.

"Just you wait, King Yahalak, I will take my revenge on you, kill you, and take back everything that is mine."

Ruilis's expression suddenly changed. "Who is it!"

"Something's not right with you." A panting voice, like the breath of a snake, sounded right next to Relis's ear. Her pupils contracted and her body stiffened.

The slender forked tongue, coated with mucus, licked her cheek, then curled around her ear and slid down her neck, instantly turning Relis's skin red.

Ruilis took a deep breath. "Doguyin, that's enough. It's time to complete the wizarding task set up in the Natural Ring Tower."

A pair of slender arms were wrapped around Ruilis's chest, clamping her joints like ropes. Her legs were the same, pressed tightly together and tightly bound, with an extremely high degree of flexibility, as if they had no bones or joints.

Ruilis felt like she was suffocating, especially from the putrid stench of snakes emanating from the other person, along with the bloody smell of someone who had just devoured a human.

A chill flashed in her eyes, but she held back.

Her opponent was a master wizard apprentice; she was no match for him.

Once the Shadow Tide erodes the Soul Bone Witch Array and devours enough soul vitality, she will eventually advance to the Limit Wizard Apprentice level. Only then will it be time to settle the score.

The woman, cheek to cheek, with heavy purple eyeshadow and purple lipstick, had a very eerie appearance.

"Riris, it seems you're hiding something from me."

Duoguyin's voice rang in Ruilis's ears, and his hot breath brushed against her skin.

"Everyone has their own secrets, doesn't they? Just like in this operation, you, Wizard Duoguyin, don't seem to have taken the mission seriously."

"You're not stupid, and neither am I. Being chosen for this wizarding mission is extremely dangerous, and there's no benefit to it. I don't want to do something that loses me money; it's better to devour more blood."

"Why fight to the death with the enemy in the vast White Lake Wizard City? Gaining benefits is the most important thing." Duoguyin's expression was subtle.

"That makes sense." Ruilis chuckled, then her expression gradually turned serious. "However, if we can't destroy the resonance point, the mission will fail. Naturally, the Ring Tower won't open the Void-Breaking Wizard Array teleportation point. We'll be trapped in White Lake Wizard City and eventually be killed here by the wizards sent to support us from the Dark Lands."

Duoguyin laughed mockingly, the curve of his lips large enough to devour a child. "Don't joke around, Ruilis. Do you think the foundation of a wizarding force can be so easily destroyed? So easily discovered!"

"What we see is merely what others show us first. Even a formal wizard, without sufficient inside information and support, cannot destroy the resonance point."

Duoguyin's eyes were deep and he sighed, "We are just a group of sacrificial lambs being tested, used as a way to attract attention in the open."

"I and a few other guys broke through the teleportation array in White Lake Wizard City and killed three Limit Wizard Apprentices from the Dark Lands. There were two more hiding there, otherwise we could have wiped them all out. They're hiding in the city lord's mansion now and don't dare to come out."

"Could it be that Beta Berkeley really broke the city's protective magic array? How could it have been so easy?" Riris's eyes widened, clearly not expecting things to progress so smoothly.

"That idiot?" Duoguyin said disdainfully, "What ability can a traitor have? He thinks it's his own ability, but little does he know that everything has already been arranged by someone."

Ruilis looked at her in surprise; she herself was unaware of this news.

Being able to tamper with the magic array in White Lake Wizard City and render it completely ineffective is a highly prestigious position in the Underdark.

Has the infiltrator of the Natural Ring Tower development reached this stage?

Ruilis was shocked and confused. What exactly was her mission, and the missions of the five Limit Wizard Apprentices?

What should we do next?

Duoguyin crawled like a snake, its body twisting and turning, loosening its grip on Ruilis's body, and plunged directly into the water, disappearing from sight.

Ruilis stared in the direction she had disappeared, her expression extremely gloomy.

I feel like I'm caught in an undercurrent, unable to see the real direction.

"No matter what, strength is everything. As long as I raise my strength to the limit of a wizard apprentice, I can easily deal with any trouble."

"The Shadow Erosion Soul Bone Witch Array can merge with me. After absorbing a certain amount of soul vitality, it will meet the requirements and advance to the level of Ultimate Wizard Apprentice."

Ruilis clenched her hands and looked toward the direction of White Lake Wizard City.

There, the killing intent intensified, and the particle energy radiation fluctuations reached an unprecedented extreme.

The teleportation process was far from pleasant, especially since Wang Ya was carrying Harak in his sleeve. He was huddled up, and Harak trembled as the spatial fluctuations enveloped him.

An unexpected problem has occurred. There is a significant issue with spatial resonance. It's as if the network connection was interrupted by an interference device, causing the original commands to be changed to other commands.

A tearing sensation filled the hearts of the six people in the teleportation process with panic.

This is the worst-case scenario.

The next moment, the teleportation process was completely interrupted, and a large amount of energy poured onto them. The energy that was affected surged out of the void, and Wang Ya immediately wrapped his whole body in the Shadow Robe.

The first-level sublimated magical artifact, after being processed by the Dream Wizard, has had the wizard's will and spiritual imprint contained within it completely cleaned.

Fortunately, it wasn't a soul imprint used, otherwise it would have been much more troublesome.

Because Wang Ya doesn't use Dark Bat Particle Energy, he can only use the Shadow Robe, its most basic function.

In the outer city area of ​​White Lake Wizard City, Wang Ya tumbled out of the void, rolling three to five meters on the ground before recovering.

Fortunately, the shadow robe she wore cleaned itself, so she didn't look too disheveled.

Wang Ya's extraordinary mental power was released instantly, covering a range of 500 meters, serving both to protect against danger and to gather information.

He naturally confirmed that his location was inside the White Lake Wizard City.

As for where the others will end up after the energy is transferred, and whether they will be safe or unharmed, that is not something Wang Ya can know.

In fact, there was a shop selling extraordinary resources 200 meters ahead of him. The protective magic array was open, and the shop owner, a wizard, was looking nervously at the wizard outside.

"Hank, haven't I been good enough to you? Every time you collect extraordinary resources, I buy them back for you at the best market price, and you actually bring people to attack me. You ungrateful wretch."

The wizard named Hank was tall and had a knife cut on his neck, which seemed to tell a story. Even after he became a second-level wizard apprentice, he still hadn't been able to remove the scar.

"Do you think we don't know? You give us the lowest price, and even deliberately pick out some qualified resource categories, saying they are bad, and exploit us year after year."

"Even the magic stone reward that should have been paid to us has been delayed for a year, two years, or even five years. Too many gathering wizards have died while gathering extraordinary resources because they didn't have enough magic stones to buy extraordinary items. All of this is your fault, you vampire."

The many wizards behind Hank also became indignant.

Their wizard robes were mostly tattered and worn, and their aura was chaotic and weak. It was clear that their daily lives were extremely difficult.

Hank said with resentment in his eyes, "This is our revenge. Now, there are no more rules of the Underdark to protect you."

The shopkeeper wizard's expression immediately turned tense and terrified. He hurriedly said, "Don't make a mistake and break the rules of the Dark Land. You will be killed by the law enforcement wizards of White Lake Wizard City."

"The use of lethal witchcraft in White Lake Wizard City is prohibited. Attacking shops in the Free Zone is also illegal. You should think carefully."

Hank, enraged, laughed coldly, his pupils bloodshot, and roared, "Now, there are no rules in White Lake Wizard City. I am the rule. We sentence you to death."

"You say you can represent the rules of White Lake Wizard City?" A cold voice suddenly rang out.

P.S.: In the previous chapter, I patched it up; there were six people. I've been directing too much, my memory is really failing me.
